Proud mama Mikhailla sees food as a way of life, not a temporary diet fix. Enter: Youfoodz 70/30! This busy mum reveals how Youfoodz keeps her outta the kitchen, so she can spend more time with her little babe and soon-to-be husband!

Hi, Mikhailla! Who do you spend most of your time with and what do you love doing?

Hello! I'm Mikhailla, a mama of two; one in heaven and one on earth. I spend most of my time with living my parenthood dream with our new little edition, our daughter Elle.

I’m passionate about connecting with other women who have been through a similar experience of life after loss.

Along with focusing on all aspects of ourselves first through a positive image by starting with the food we eat across to the things we do! I share a pretty large portion of my life on my blog wholeheartedly to be able to connect with likeminded women!

Mama Tribe 🌸 ocean side catch ups for our beach babes 🙌🏼 I always get messages from women on here that are new to the area or don’t have mama friends and was wondering whether I should organise some weekly or fortnightly things? The more the merrier always and there is so much fun amongst the chaos of getting out with kiddies 😍 i have so many mama friends too that it’s just easier catching up in big groups because I feel like my schedule is always so full 🤣 I brought the @youfoodz snack packs of hommus with celery, carrot and some juice to keep me snacking healthy while out and about as I’m trying to keep myself feeling good as much as possible and I know eating this way is what works for me so that I can eat guilt free on the days that count... aka the weekend because this is #YF7030 life 😍👏🏼 #youfoodzpartner

Three things people might not know about me are:

I’m twenty-four! A lot of people that meet me or read my blogs believe I am far beyond the age that I am.
I used to own and design swimwear for a previous business, which I sold before moving interstate for a few years.
I live a 110% gluten-free lifestyle

What is it about the 70/30 that intrigued you the most?

It is exactly what I have always been about: promoting food as a way of life, not as a temporary fix. It is realistic to eat good food but to treat yourself too! 70/30 allows us to do exactly that and with a lot more ease because we don’t have to cook it ourselves.

Have you ever been on a weight-loss journey in the past? If so, what did or didn’t work about it?

I wouldn’t say I have ever focused on a timeline with weight loss and I find that is what works best. When I put a timeline on it I feel too much pressure and punishment on myself. Different phases of your life, the seasons etc. mean your body won’t always respond the same within a set timeline. This allows me to not be disappointed and not ‘measure’ specific weight loss and focus on individually how food makes me feel! I get off track but I get back up again! I lost 20kg post-partum my first pregnancy and my second pregnancy I gained less (around 13kg) and have lost over 16kg through good food and enjoying my exercise choices.

What’s your relationship with food like?

I have a pretty good relationship with all my main meals. I find them a breeze because I consume food I love, just the healthier version. 70/30 does the exact same food that I would naturally make healthier anyway: Hawaiian Chicken Parma and Honey Mustard Chicken. I love that I don’t have to cook them now though!
I won’t lie though, I definitely do struggle with getting through a full five days without a treat. A little bit of chocolate or ice cream is a weekly obsession!

How important is fresh and healthy food to you?

Fresh and healthy is such a priority to me! I want our daughter to have a good relationship with food too.

With Youfoodz, less time cooking means more time with our rainbow baby throughout the day and being able to sit down and eat a partner with my meal after Elle has gone to bed – without wasting 40 minutes cooking in the kitchen first. Relationships need nurturing too and less cooking and washing makes this easier with Youfoodz 70/30!

What are your go-to YF clean meals?

Along with Hawaiian Chicken Parma and Honey Mustard Chicken, Steak & Creamy Mushroom Sauce and Clean Paprika Chicken round out my clean faves. Idon’t know you make everything that is usually boring taste so good?! I have a small addiction to Tangy Salsa Chipz too!

Where’s Elle? There she issssss! I am week 3 into my @youfoodz Weightloss Movement meals which means I’ve consumed 2 weeks of 70% youfoodz and 30% whatever I want and I have managed to lose 1.3kg! Two weeks of eating like this has made me lose weight! I haven’t been aiming for weightloss so this was a massive bonus! I also just signed up to a gym this week and decided to commit! I think it is just what you have to do if you want to make some more change and for me I know I am ready to build some muscle again (give me glutes!) 😆 although I can bring Elle I feel like having her at gym is too much of a distraction so I organised to get my mum to watch her one session and the other two sessions I have committed myself to are at night once she is asleep. These meals launch in the new year and I’m so happy they have such a good range of gluten free options! I put the meals I have been getting in my highlights for you guys. 🙌🏼🤤 I also tried on my wedding dress again yesterday after going through some wedding dress doubts which people warned me about hahaha but so glad I still love it when I see it on and it totally makes me ready for that big day that is finally coming together just working on the finer details now! 😍🙌🏼 #youfoodzpartner #YF7030

What would you say someone thinking about doing the 70/30?

Since I am connected with a lot of pregnant women and new mums I think the Youfoodz 70/30 is an essential post-partum experience! I would say order some Youfoodz for after you have had your baby [or hint to your nearest and dearest YF gift vouchers are available] so you don’t have to think about cooking, while you’re nurturing your body with good food!

What do you wish you had known before starting the 70/30?

That it’s affordable! As a small family, cooking fresh and creative meals can end up costing over $250 a week in groceries, along with a midweek shop of ‘cravings’ adding another $50 on top of that! Youfoodz 70/30 accounts for most of our weekly meals for a lot less than that!

What do you love about the 70/30 concept?

I love that’s more a way of life. 70% of the good stuff and 30% treating yourself is realistic! We aren’t all fitness models; we’re humans striving for that feel-good feeling! When you feel good, you truly feel comfortable in your own skin too! The way you look is just a bonus!

Do you have any major goals before the end of year, for 2019, beyond?

I want to feel confident in a low-rise bikini bottom! I know I am small for post-partum of two back-to-back babies, but I still struggle with the confidence of wearing a low-rise bikini bottom, often opting for the high-waisted ones because #MumLife.

How do you stay on track / motivated?

I stay on track by remembering the way certain foods I eat make me feel. When I eat bad food, I feel bad – I go to bed bloated. I think about what I have to do to change that and this has started to make me reflect BEFORE I consume ‘bad’ food.

What are your short cuts / life hacks to save you time and energy during the day?

Youfoodz has been one of my favourite life hacks lately to free up more time!

I make frozen banana smoothies with Youfoodz protein powder and bottle them up in my old YouJuice bottles so I always have a quick energy hit ready if I’m in a rush!

Best advice you've been given

Happiness, confidence, and a good lifestyle all starts with a smile!

Let’s talk guilty pleasures… What’s your ‘30’?

Definitely ice cream. Someone needs to delete all the food delivery apps from my phone and throw my partner in the bin while we are at it haha!

How do you like to get sweaty, aka keep fit, or otherwise?

I like being up and at ‘em every morning! I go boxing once a week and try to fit in home/studio workouts whenever I can. Boxing helped me trim down, get fit, and carve out some nice arm muscles! I boxed two to three times a week from seven weeks post-partum with baby number two!

When I was pregnant, I was all about reformer Pilates!

Have you lost weight with the Youfoodz 70/30?

I lost 1.5kg in four weeks!
